Question

what combination of transformations is shown below?
rotation, then translation
reflection, then translation
rotation, then reflection
reflection, then rotation

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the transformation from figure 1 to figure 3

Figure 1 is rotated to get to a position similar to figure 3's orientation (rotation concept: turning a figure around a point).

Step2: Analyze the transformation from figure 3 to figure 2

Figure 3 is translated (slid) down to get to figure 2 (translation concept: moving a figure without rotation or reflection).

Answer:

rotation, then translation
